Lowering tire pressures for off road on GS

Heading to NM in two weeks for level 1 with Dusty Wessels. Having just returned from Ak. on Heidnau Scouts, I replaced them with the OEM Tourance Next's which were basically new.

I don't want to change back out to a 50/50 for this course and have to do another 1K on 50/50's out and back, so here's the question for our learned members.

Would you lower pressures on the Next for this course [ low speed balancing and turning skills, not anything like climbing hills etc like in level 2 ]? If you'd lower pressures on the Next tires, what would you set them at?

I normally set them on tar at 37/43 cold.

Thanks
Hey brownie,

I am considering attending Dustys course in late September. Please let me know what you think of the course when complete.
Thanks.

Mark.
